Cool story
Although I read his book, it didn’t have this detail in it from the Reds side. Interesting, makes for a more complete picture of the process and history. I would be interested in knowing the process the Rangers went through in deciding to pull the trigger on the trade that brought him here.
I remember when they selected him
I thought, wow, wouldn’t it be cool if he could actually still have a career and a life after nearly destroying himself and his family. I rooted for him to do well in Cincinnati never dreaming he’d be a Ranger.
When you're drowning, you don't say 'I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,' you just scream.
